Hi Stefan,
These two files are part of your DirectX Graphics Driver set. There should
be no reason for Malwarebytes to stop scanning when it reaches these files,
so maybe they have been somewhat corrupted. Then again, it could be a
malware providing you with a false positive.
The first thing I would do is manually update Malawarebytes and then reboot
into Safe Mode and run a Full scan from there. The DirectX files should not
be in use in Safe Mode. This is also a good method to use to help unconver
certain kinds of malware that hide themselves when running in normal mode.
If the scan is able to complete in Safe Mode, it may find and repair
whatever appears to be plaguing your system.
I will wait to hear of your results before recommending any further steps
you can take before taking it to a malware expert.
Peace,
Gman
